ABSTRACT:
A dye setting apparatus for use with carpets, mats and the like comprises a cover having a generally planar interior surface pivotally connected to a support surface. The cover includes a steam containment and support structure having an interior channel flow connected to a steam source. The cover, support structure and support surface form a confinement chamber for the carpet. Steam is released into the chamber from apertures in the support structure to set dye in the carpet. The interior surface of the cover is constructed of a material which is generally non-heat conductive and somewhat water absorbent, such as plywood, to prevent steam from condensing as droplets on the interior of the cover and dropping on the carpet during dye setting. An alternative embodiment includes multiple stacked covers that form multiple chambers, each chamber adapted to receive a mat and steam therein such that dye may be set on multiple mats simultaneously.
